Verifying sequential consistency using vector clocks

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: We present an algorithm for dynamically verifying that the execution of a multithreaded program is sequentially consistent. The algorithm uses a vector-timestamp logical time mechanism to construct and verify the acyclic nature of an execution's constraint graph.
